Sculptor – Python library for LLM structured data extraction (MIT)

Hacker News

I built Sculptor after repeatedly seeing founders try to hire data scientists for a task that ultimately boiled down to extracting structured data from unstructured text (customer records, social posts, websites, etc) using an LLM API. We ended up reinventing this pattern internally at least three times in the past year, so I published Sculptor as a streamlined, open-source solution: - Simple schema-based extraction, with parallelization and type validation. - Multi-step pipelines with filtering or transforms between steps. - Configure everything in YAML/JSON for easy reuse. It’s MIT licensed and on PyPI — feedback welcome!
